A ColdFusion/Flash Application

Instead of having you build this application step-by-step, we are going to walk you through the finished application. Why? Because this application was built using both ColdFusion and Flash and not all of you are going to have access to a ColdFusion Server. However, you should be able to easily translate the ColdFusion to your language of choice. The code itself isn’t really all that complex. What’s important is that you understand how all the pieces are put together.

The application you’ll be walking through is a simple To-Do list (see Figure 28.11). This To-Do list lets you do several things. You can add new items to your list, along with a more detailed description for each item. You also can delete items on which you have completed work. You can have as many items in your list as you like. If you exceed five items, the list becomes scrollable. All the information you enter in the list is captured in a database so that you can recall it at any time.
